A‘lá Llāh ta‘ālá darajātihim dā’iman (with Him are their ranks always) wa nafa‘nā bibarakat
anfāsihumu l-qudsiyyah (we benefit from their holy souls) biḥurmati man lā nabiyya ba‘dahu
biḥurmati l-Fātiḥah (for the sake of the one after whom there is no prophet).

All these without [being] broken, from Prophet (saw) up to our Grandshaykh. And
Grandshaykh, he has been ordered by Prophet, peace be upon him, to give khilāfat, to give
permission to me to look after Naqshbandī people as long as we are on this world. And my
responsibility with them. I am nothing. But they are, they must be in relationship through
Golden Chain from Rasūlu Llāh (saw) up to ourselves. If anyone making any objecting,
objection on me, I am not a person making myself to be here or to be Shaykh, or to be
khalīfah or to be Naqshbandī. It is something that they are ordering. If they are not ordering,
I like to escape to be unseen, unknown. But they are putting me, ordering me to be here.
That is an order from Prophet, peace be upon him (saw) to Grandhshaykh - when he was
leaving to look after Naqshbandī people, to look after murīds. That is not my order, my
command. If anyone has a question and objection, may ask from Prophet (saw) why he
appointed me to be after Grandshaykh. They are Grandshaykh. I'm only servant.

And everyone from East, from West, from Arab, from Turk, from Germans, from English,
from American - every kind of people they are sending to me. No one coming to me with [by]
my power but they are sending people to me. I'm not making advertisement to come to me
anyone. So many people asking to come, I am saying "I am moving. Don't come." But they
are asking to come. And your spiritual life in connection with our soul. Therefore, everyone
who coming to me and meeting me must be in meeting with my soul before coming here. If
our souls going to be on same line, it is the sign of real relationship through Naqshbandī
ṭarīqah. If not, it means that he is not in our line and he must look his own line through East
or West.

And we are not saying to anyone "Don't go there, come here. Don't follow that, come here."
Only I am saying for Wahhābī people. I am trying to awaken ummah (Muslim community)
for the danger of Wahhābī or fitnah of Wahhābī - not for any Shaykh, particularly
Naqshbandī Shaykh. May go thousands of people to following Shaykhs. We have proud and
we are happy to follow, to be followed a Shaykh by thousands of people. Never harming me.
Because no jealousy through ṭarīqah. Really. But so many imitated people claiming they are
ṭarīqah people, not knowing real adab from ṭarīqah. They are doing fitnah between Shaykhs
and murīds. But real Shaykhs they're never affected by such foolish people. Because ṭarīqah
only the way leads people to Allāh Almighty. If they are going to Allāh, we are going to say
"No"? No, go with pleasure, with pleasure.

Therefore, that is our chain. And they have my responsibility. They think that we may do
wrong, they may correct it. They are not leaving to make a wrong thing for teaching murīds
or doing. It is alright. Therefore, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are not like mushroom - no roots, no
branches, no flowers, no fruits. This Naqshbandī way the first most important way to Allāh
Almighty. From beginning up today it is as it was the first time. Now it is alright and it should
be - I mean to say Naqshbandī ṭarīqah should be the first most important, most powerful
ṭarīqah up to end of the world also. Therefore, if anyone they have a permission in such a
way, they are going to guide people on Naqshbandī way. If no permission, they must look
after some permitted person to be with him. They know. Adiyaman Shaykh knows this point.
Shaykh Mahmoud Efendi knows that point. And any other Naqshbandī Shaykh in Anatolia
knows that point. In Aleppo, in Damascus, in Baghdad, in Hijaz, in Egypt, in Sudan, in
Maghrib, in Hind, in Pakistan, in Far East, in Malaysia, in Indonesia - everywhere whom
claiming that they are Naqshbandī or Naqshbandī Shaykh, they must know what I am
saying.

And if they have anything what I am saying, if they can find anything not acceptable, they
may ask from Holy Prophet, peace be upon him. That is the way. And we are asking
forgiveness.
Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq biḥurmati l-Fātiḥah.
